Bones and Mom
are in the house.  

It’s almost as cold
inside the house
as it is outside.  

They don’t care
what’s going on outside,
and they’re not really
expecting Santa Clause.  

All the windows
are frosted over
anyway.  

They couldn’t see
anything outside
if they tried.  

Of course
they could always
stop breathing.  

Bobby

That ending scenario would certainly fit in well with the right-wing Republican agenda
amid the "Runaway American Dream" ... wherein it would be most convenient if the
old, sick, poor, and/or otherwise 'disenfranchised' (the "Have-nots" economic caste)
would simply die and decrease the surplus population!

much applause for this 'penning'!

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes, I'm sure it does.  Memories probably best forgotten.
